Spain records its lowest daily coronavirus deaths

Spaniards have been soaking up the sun and exercising outside for the second day since the coronavirus lockdown was eased as the country's daily death toll rose by the lowest amount in six weeks.

New coronavirus fatalities in Spain rose by 164 to 25,264 Sunday, according to data from the Health Ministry, marking the lowest one-day increase since March 18.

Confirmed cases of the virus rose to 217,466 on Sunday, from 216,582 on Saturday, the ministry said.

Millions of Spaniards took to the country's streets and seafronts to take part in sport for the first time in nearly seven weeks in a new easing of its coronavirus lockdown that began on Saturday.

Large numbers of people were seen wandering the streets and enjoying the evening air of the port city of Málaga, on Sunday.

Many returned to the city's quayside as lockdown measures were eased, some wearing protective face masks, some without.

Some citizens took advantage of riding their bicycles through the port city at set times by authorities.

While even more people were spotted enjoying La Malagueta beach this weekend - some frolicking in the surf, some swimming, some sunbathing and some just walking the shoreline.
